Hi everyone, I am Yuya. I am a fourth year CS undergrad who is working with Joseph this summer and helping him manage this meeting. The meeting starts at 12:30pm in DGP seminar room. For those who cannot make it in person, I will also set up google hangouts (the link will be sent about 30 minutes before). Prior to the meeting, please add topics you want to discuss and information you want others to know to the agenda from here<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fByc4u6qOZyy1NOvBAAzk6T-fxWe85i3AyY3JjB…>. I am looking forward to see you soon.

Have an HCI meeting Tue 2 July (this Tue) on the topic of Learning & Improving Semi-Structured Interview Techniques
by Joseph Jay Williams 27 Jun '19

27 Jun '19

Hi everyone, I spoke to Jiannin, and let's have have an HCI meeting Tue 2 July (this Tue) on the topic of Learning & Improving Semi-Structured Interview Techniques. (I'll be away the following week so I asked to go earlier). I have several new grad students joining who are excited to learn about this topic and discuss with other people who are doing it. And many of you said this could be quite useful, even if you're experienced there's always ways to keep improving and iterating on techniques for interviewing. *If you have previous experience with interviews, we want your resources here (readings, guides, very good transcripts or videos, etc.): * <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zu5csTWoZUJ7txCbLO1PsLiyjOFrs2KsqYAnHkz…> tiny.cc/dinterview - Resources for doing HCI Interviewing <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fByc4u6qOZyy1NOvBAAzk6T-fxWe85i3AyY3JjB…> *Also, please take a moment before the meeting to reflect on interviewing.* What's helpful to know? When you were learning interviewing, what was difficult at first? Do you have advice? What are important things to keep in mind when preparing as an interviewer? Etc. We'll be having smaller group discussions, with particular attention to capturing ideas and tips in the Google Doc. And to having people actually practice or demo ways they might interview. Please just dump a whole bunch of resources into that Google doc, don't worry too much about how relevant they are. We can cut and organize later. tiny.cc/dinterview - Resources for doing HCI Interviewing <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fByc4u6qOZyy1NOvBAAzk6T-fxWe85i3AyY3JjB…> Joseph Joseph Jay Williams www.josephjaywilliams.com Assistant Professor Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto Intelligent Adaptive Interventions (IAI) research group

Hello all, We are having our HCI meeting on Tuesday June 25th. The time and location is 12.30 - 2.00, at the DGP seminar room, as usual. We do not have a presenter this week. Instead, we will watch Hiroshi Ishii’s Lifetime Achievement Award talk at CHI this year (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6D1A9J0qIE) and have some free-form discussions on the talk, or ongoing research, or anything you’d like to bring up. Look forward to seeing you there. Lunch will be provided. Thanks, Jiannan

Unexpected peanuts in seminar room, already cleaned up (in a deep way), asking for suggestions for next steps.
by fyzhu＠dgp.toronto.edu 08 Jun '19

08 Jun '19

Dear all First, please allow me to convey my apologize for this unexpected case. Tonight we've invited our friends watching raptors vs warriors in the seminar room, and accidentally brought some snacks contain peanuts to the room. After we realized that, we ceased the snacks, sealed all the package contains peanuts and brought them outside the lab. Later we spent hours making a deep clean-up for the seminar room until now. We've cleaned up tables and chairs for multiple times, deeply checked the carpet and cleaned up everything looks like food debris on the ground, and opened the window to refresh the air. As a person also have allergies, I know this still may not be enough. So if you are allergic to peanuts, please try to avoid to get into the seminar room until the next Vacuums Clean Up time (typically Monday night, I think). If you are allergic to the peanuts, need something in the lab this weekends, I'm willing to help anything I could as I'll be in lab this weekends. If anyone has any suggestions to the next steps (like maybe we need to order the clean-up from school manually for the seminar room), please let me know and I'll try my best to reset our lab into a peanuts-free lab. Sorry again for this unexpected conditions. If you know anyone belongs to this lab but not signed to the mail list, please help to let them know this unexpected condition. Hope everyone has a great weekends. Sincerely Fengyuan Zhu

Research visit and talk - Otmar Hilliges
by Haijun Xia 28 May '19

28 May '19

Dear all, Otmar Hilliges, Associate Professor of Computer Science at ETH Zurich, is visiting us on this Friday, May 31. Please find his talk title, bio below. We would like to host some demos for him. This is a great opportunity to build connections and increase the exposure of your work. Please let me know by Tuesday night what time works for you in this google sheet. If you would like to meet with him, please also indicate your availability in the sheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KYVkmGYAmc6Hg3UAYWPNEfADyH4xWjv0npQa WEfOVAI/edit?usp=sharing Thanks, Haijun Title: Quo Vadis Augmented Reality? Abstract: Virtual and Mixed Reality (XR) holds the promise to significantly change the ways we interact with digital information. Despite much progress from both research and industry there are still many challenges to be mastered before XR can become a mainstream interaction paradigm. In this talk I will review where we are as a field, outline some of the challenges ahead and talk about some of the recent research from our lab in this space. In particular, I will discuss new ways to capture rich user input, including full-body pose and detailed hand pose configurations without the need for environment mounted cameras or other tracking systems, enabling rich sensing of human activities in on-the-go scenarios. In the second half of the talk I will discuss novel light-weight approaches to haptic feedback for XR and adaptive UIs that control what information to display where, depending on the user's internal state. Bio: Otmar Hilliges is currently an Associate Professor of computer science at ETH Zurich, where he leads the AIT lab. His research is at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision and human computer interaction (HCI). The main mission is to develop new ways for humans to interact with complex interactive systems (computers, wearables, robots), powered by advanced algorithms and technologies in machine perception, planning and data driven user modelling. Prior to joining ETH he was a Researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge (2010-2013). His Diplom (equiv. MSc) in Computer Science is from Technische Universität München, Germany (2004) and his PhD in Computer Science from LMU München, Germany (2009). He spent two years as a postdoc at Microsoft Research Cambridge (2010-2012). He has published more than 70 peer-reviewed papers in the major venues on computer vision, HCI and computer graphics and received an ERC starting grant in 2017 for computational approaches to sensing based human-computer interfaces. Finally, 20+ patents have been filed in his name on a variety of subjects from surface reconstruction to AR/VR.
